Morphology
indiscriminateness = indiscriminate (transparent) = in + discriminate + ness
Adding '-ness' to the adjective 'indiscriminate' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the quality or state of being indiscriminate.
Etymology
Indiscriminateness comes from in- 'not' plus discriminate 'to choose or separate', with -ness to make it a noun, so it names the quality of not choosing carefully. Think of it as the opposite of a 'discriminating' person who picks carefully; indiscriminateness is when someone treats everything the same and makes careless choices.
